Reproductive Justice is a powerful framework through which historically marginalized people identify and intervene to combat systemic medical and economic oppression and demand safe and self-determined conditions for ourselves, our families, and our neighbors. For many Trans* and Gender Non-conforming People of Color, borders and binaries continue to negatively impact the health and autonomy of our diverse communities all across the world. Because TransJustice acknowledges that TGNC people have always existed and that reproductive justice is trans*justice, we are wrestling with the question of our role in reproductive justice movements as a matter of survival.
Join us for a Black and Brown Peoples History of Reproductive Justice on Tuesday, December 12 at 6:30 PM via Zoom. In this first of three political educations focused on reproductive justice, TransJustice members will offer a timeline to educate participants on historical injustices in the United States which shape the violence that TGNC POC and WOC still resist today. Reflecting our positions as people of color from within the U.S., the timeline will also include snapshots of movements for reproductive justice abroad. In the name of our transcestors before us and the generations to come, together we will tackle the problem of how we build meaningful solidarity on stolen land.
A brief, lightly facilitated open discussion will follow our timeline presentation. Registered attendees will be provided a complimentary voucher for food purchase.
